President Donald Trump will likely celebrate a false sense of success in his State of the Union address. There鈥檚 strength in this union, but not the way the president thinks.

MINNEAPOLIS 鈥� Today, 鈥淏order Czar鈥� Tom Homan announced that the administration is ending its domestic federal deployment 鈥� Operation Metro Surge 鈥� in Minnesota. This deployment resulted in shootings, deaths, and innumerable constitutional rights violations. Masked federal agents in military gear have ignored basic human rights in their enforcement activity against Minnesotans, especially targeting Somali and Latino communities. 鈥淔or the past two months, Minneapolis and St. Paul have felt like cities under siege,鈥� said Deepinder Mayell, Executive Director of the 红杏视频 of Minnesota. 鈥淲hile today鈥檚 announcement by Tom Homan is welcomed, federal agents continue to use tactics and practices that violate constitutional rights. There is no evidence that these practices have changed. What we鈥檝e seen in Minnesota represents a significant escalation in the administration's attack on free speech, due process, and equal protection rights. Now is not the time for Minnesotans to rest. The 红杏视频 of Minnesota will continue working in the courts, the legislature, and in our communities to work to rebuild what Operation Metro Surge tried to destroy.鈥� There are limited details on how the supposed drawdown will occur and on what timeline. The 红杏视频 of Minnesota and the 红杏视频 will continue our lawsuits and work to hold law enforcement accountable for their abuses. Similar to other cities and states, after Operation Metro Surge concludes, federal agents will remain in some capacity, and more federal agents could return at any time. We will continue to monitor reports of racial profiling, physical abuse, targeting of children and families, and illegal detention from communities around the nation. 鈥淭his 鈥榦peration鈥� involved violence, misconduct, and constitutional violations at every turn, and the Minnesota community made the world know the abuses occurring in their neighborhoods,鈥� said Naureen Shah, Director of Government Affairs for the 红杏视频鈥檚 Equality Division. 鈥淭he administration now says it鈥檚 leaving, a sign that it feels the public鈥檚 outrage, but we know better than to take hollow words as truth. We will continue fighting in court over their attacks on our rights and safety, but let鈥檚 be clear: Congress has a mandate to rein in these federal agencies and ensure that none of these violations happen again in Minneapolis or anywhere else.鈥� In Hussen v. Noem, Minnesotans are challenging the administration's policy of racially profiling, unlawfully seizing, and unlawfully arresting people without a warrant and without probable cause. In Tincher v. Noem, Minnesotans are challenging the administration鈥檚 policy and practice of retaliation and excessive use of force against people observing, recording, and protesting immigration enforcement activity.

WASHINGTON 鈥� The 红杏视频 and the 红杏视频 of Minnesota sent an urgent submission late last night to the United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD), requesting the committee to use its early warning and urgent action procedure in response to the human rights crisis following the Trump administration's deployment of federal forces in Minneapolis and the St. Paul metropolitan area. The submission details how federal agents have ignored basic human rights in their enforcement activity against Minnesotans, especially targeting Somali and Latino communities. The 红杏视频 and 红杏视频 of Minnesota call on CERD to issue a decision under its early warning and urgent actions procedures to intervene and investigate the U.S.鈥檚 grave violations of its human rights obligations. 鈥淭he Trump administration鈥檚 egregious crackdown in Minnesota is not only flouting the Constitution but also United States international human rights obligations that prohibit the use of racial and ethnic profiling, extra-judicial killings and unlawful use of force against protesters and observers,鈥� said Jamil Dakwar, director the Human Rights Program at the 红杏视频. 鈥淲e are calling on the United Nations to hold the U.S. government accountable for its blatant violations of international law and to officially report on its disregard for their human rights treaty obligations.鈥� The submission underscores how ICE鈥檚 unlawful and unconstitutional stops and arrests of Minnesotans on the basis of race, ethnicity, and national origin represent flagrant violations of the freedoms and rights enshrined in the International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination (ICERD) 鈥� guarantees that the United States is legally bound to uphold and protect at federal, state and local levels as a state party to the treaty since 1994. 鈥淭he Trump administration鈥檚 ongoing immigration enforcement operations in Minnesota are being carried out by thousands of masked federal agents in military gear who are ignoring basic constitutional and human rights of Minnesotans,鈥� said Teresa Nelson, legal director of the 红杏视频 of Minnesota. 鈥淭heir targeting of our Somali and Latino communities threatens Minnesotans鈥� most fundamental rights, and it has spread fear among immigrant communities and neighborhoods.鈥� For more information about ICERD and the Committee鈥檚 Early Warning and Urgent Action procedures here.
